Actually, it’s crystal clear that David Gregory planned and blatantly committed a crime. He wanted to use an object illegal to possess in DC as a prop on his show, requested permission from the police to violate the ordinance, which was properly refused, and then thumbed his nose at the police and the law by having the contraband brought into DC and openly displayed it in front of millions of people on national TV.
This is a premeditated crime that includes conspiracy since it’s highly improbable that Gregory acted entirely on his own without the prior knowledge of anyone else.

The law under the O Regime is capricious.

I think of Trayvon Martin. George Zimmerman, on the neighborhood watch, normally an applaudable and worthwhile activity. He carried a gun, because of a rottweiler dog loose in the neighborhood. He talked to the police about it, about whether he should carry pepper spray, and they told him, you use pepper spray, you’ll be dead — carry a gun instead. So he did.

And then he observed this kid, and followed him. He called 911. They said “we don’t need you to follow him”. OK. But he needed to follow him, as part of the neighborhood watch, to see where he went. And they had an altercation and he got his nose broke and lacerations on the back of his head from his head smashing on the concrete.

Obama said, “You know, if I had a son, he’d look like Trayvon”. And then, Zimmerman was charged with second degree murder. Cronyism. Who you know. What group you belong to. It was obvious Zimmerman was defending himself from an aggressor.

Did you really think that we want those laws to be observed? We want them broken. You’d better get it straight that it’s not a bunch of boy scouts you’re up against … We’re after power and we mean it. You fellows were pikers, but we know the real trick, and you’d better get wise to it. There’s no way to rule innocent men. The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws. Who wants a nation of law-abiding citizens? What’s there in that for anyone? But just pass the kind of laws that can neither be observed nor enforced nor objectively interpreted and you create a nation of law-breakers – and then you cash in on guilt. Now that’s the system, Mr. Rearden, and once you understand it, you’ll be much easier to deal with.

By the way, what would happen if self-righteous Gregory were to walk his magazine into the school that his kids and Obama’s kids attend?

When it comes to LIBERALS, intentions are all that matter; and those intentions are always conclusively presumed to be perfect.

That’s really the only remaining difference between America and a fully liberalized totalitarianism: the idea that the same laws apply to Party Members and mere citizens alike. Once the last vestiges of that old-fashioned notion have been fully expunged, then what Barack Hussein Obama refers to as his “fundamental transformation of America” will be complete.

Gregory can call in a favor from some Obama consigliere who’ll lean on the cops to disappear the whole thing. If he does that, he’ll be contributing to the remorseless assault on a bedrock principle of free societies — equality before the law. Laws either apply to all of us or none of us. If they apply only to some, they’re not laws but caprices — and all tyranny is capricious.

— Mark Steyn

It is a grave error to suppose that a dictatorship rules a nation by means of strict, rigid laws which are obeyed and enforced with rigorous, military precision. Such a rule would be evil, but almost bearable; men could endure the harshest edicts, provided these edicts were known, specific and stable; it is not the known that breaks men’s spirits, but the unpredictable. A dictatorship has to be capricious; it has to rule by means of the unexpected, the incomprehensible, the wantonly irrational; it has to deal not in death, but in sudden death; a state of chronic uncertainty is what men are psychologically unable to bear.

in today’s America there are laws against everything, and any one of us at any time is unknowingly in breach of dozens of them.

That’s why fully liberalized countries are referred to as “police states.” With the exception of the powerful or well-connected, the state can arrest anyone at any time. And it’s all perfectly legal.

That’s because, once laws become sufficiently Byzantine, EVERYONE is always guilty of something. There is no need to wait until a crime has been committed, and then go to the trouble of finding the specific individual who committed it. It works the opposite way around: government officials can arrest whomever they want, whenever they want, and then simply compile a list of the crimes that apply to whatever those citizens happen to have been doing.
